Windows 10: windows 10 on a Gateway laptop model ML6230

I wish some help, information on installing windows 10 on a older gateway laptop, model ML6230. It has not been used much; I would like to keep it surfing. Is it possible with the older CPU ?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

reloading windows in gateway laptop

A friend of mine had the same problem with his gateway laptop. Gateway didn't supply him with an original windows CD and instead forced him to burn a copy from a partition on his hard drive. It turned out that the CD he had burned was corrupt and that was what was causing the failed install. He got a new copy from bestbuy and that allowed him to install windows without any problems.

So is your CD an original windows CD or is it a recovery CD burned from a partition on your hard drive?

 

reloading windows in gateway laptop

Hi guys, first thx for your posts. It looks like that: this isn't my first time with win reinstalation but first time with laptop. A few days ago I had problem with desktop (gateway), Bios upgrade, and everything was about "bios tatooing by gateway". I thought I have the same problem with laptop, gateway did something. I was using win98 start disc, because I didn't know how to get into the DOS, but no results. The most stupid thing is, after I made new partitions, reformated'em, I went into the bios and IDE 0 - nothing, IDE - 1 cdrw/dvd drive. In that case I suspect my HDD. About trivial suggestion (I think it isn't trivial, it's a very common mistake), when I removed CD, there is message "OS not found", but I know, I don't have to do it, that problem was with 3.5" drive during win95, 98. Anyway, what do you think now, should I order new HDD?? the old is samsung made, my opinion about samsung HDD is ... (I shouldn't write it here, too much s... and f...)*Smile - I prefer WD or Maxtor, eventually Seagate...thx for every post
